    forgot my root password...now what?

    Just type in: sudo /bin/tcsh And that will make you root user, then type in: passwd root And enter the new password you want. I find that to be the fastest way to enable root or change the password.

    first linux install...need help

    You should use YDL 2.0. I tried Suse 6.4, LinuxPPC 2000, and YDL 2.0. I could only get YDL 2.0 to work. It has a nice partitioning tool that you can use when you install it. I don't know about pdisk, X, and the terminal, but you should consider using YDL 2.0.

    Re-Installing X

    I was wondering how one might go about un-installing X? I heard that it is a pretty complicated thing to do, i have not tried anything yet, and i feel stupid about that, but can you boot up to the X cd and just use uninstall instead of install, or is their something else I must do?
